What Does ADI Stand For?

ADI stands for Alternating Direction Implicit

ADI, or Alternating Direction Implicit, is a numerical algorithm used for solving partial differential equations, particularly in the realms of fluid dynamics and heat transfer. It enhances computational efficiency by breaking down multi-dimensional problems into simpler one-dimensional subproblems, which are solved iteratively in an alternating fashion. This approach not only improves stability and accuracy but also allows for larger time steps in simulations, making it a popular choice in various scientific and engineering applications.
